I've been whoring Guitar Center giftcards for some time now and have $150 worth. I was going to buy some sort of "fun" pedal, but a couple friends of mine kept bugging me to look into compressors. I have about $200 total, so I'm not getting some crazy rack-mounted compressor. I poked around...

I really like the sound of dead Hybrid Slinkies on my bass. So my gut is telling me to try flatwounds on my instrument. When it comes to rounds, I like DR Hi-Beams and Rotos, so I like them bright and with a some twang. That gives me second-thoughts on the flats. I did a search for...

About a year ago, I bought an active bubinga Warwick Corvette. After playing it for about a month, I realized it had a "scooped" quality, so I began tinkering with the A string and bridge in general -- a very stupid idea, but at the time I was inexperienced with actually setting up a bass, and I...

My Warwick Corvette is currently strung with DR Hi-Beams, 105-45. But they're a little too bright, and I'm not sure how into them I am. They're great strings, but maybe a little too harsh for the way I have my EQ set up, and I don't want to change anything with that at this point. Anyway, can...

I was playing a GK 700RB II at Guitar Center today, and I liked the sound. I can't afford it though, and I was looking at the GK 400RB II next to it. I was pressed for time and it wasn't hooked up, so I never got a chance to play around with it. I'm just wondering how the sound between the...

Let me start off by saying that I haven't played any of these heads yet, but they will all be tested eventually... meaning they'll be tested when I find them in a Guitar Center or other music store. Also, I'm into metal, and my favorite tone of all time belongs to Ryan Martinie. So I'm...

It's currently strung with 40-100 DR Hi-Beams. I like them, but they're a little too low tension for my tastes. Before the Hi-Beams, I had it strung with Lo-Riders. I didn't care for them. Before that, I had the out of the box Black Labels. However, the Vette was a floor model and was...

Currently I'm using a Warwick Corvette and a Peavey Max 110, which is all I could afford at the time, and I decided I'd try and save up for a new amp... well I currently have about $450 saved (and no job) but the job search is over for me, so I should be raking in minimum wage in no time as soon...

I know that you can adjust pickup height and all that. Basically, I am NOT asking how to fix this. Lately, I've been playing with a lot of gain, and I really like the sound I get when I use a bit more force with my fingers, and get the sound of the strings hitting the pickups. I'm just...

This is my first post here, so I guess I'll say "hello." Onto the point. I'm in the market for a new bass to get before I go to college... I figure that if I want to drop $900ish on a bass, it should be done before college, so I'm not tempted to waste much money while I'm there. That said...
